“ jf  he  house  Of 

S KEhT-(OSTIKYAn 

Esg&atEi  had  jts  jnceptjon  jn  the  year  1885,  when  Mr. 
Costikyan,  then  a student  at  Colgate  University,  sold  several 
bales  of  Oriental  Rugs,  among  the  professors  of  that  institu' 
tion.  Q In  the  Fall  of  1 886,  Mr.  Costikyan  established  the 
business  of  Costikyan  Freres  in  the  City  of  Rochester.  In 
those  days,  the  disposal  of  choice  Rugs  at  private  sale  to  any 
extent  was  out  of  the  question.  Costikyan  Freres  forwarded 
important  collections  of  Rugs  semi-annually  to  New  York,  for 
disposal  at  the  then  leading  Ortgies  Art  Galleries  on  Broadway 
below  Fourteenth  Street.  Many  of  the  rare  antiques  now  in 
the  homes  of  New  York  and  other  cities  were  acquired  at 
those  sales,  which  contributed  more  than  anything  else 
toward  the  introduction  of  Oriental  Rugs  on  a large  scale. 
Q In  1 888  a branch  was  opened  in  Chicago,  where  the  busi- 
ness was  conducted  until  1893.  The  Kochester  store  was 
discontinued  and  a wholesale  branch  opened  in  New  York. 
Q During  this  period,  Marshall  Field  &■  Co.  realized  the  great 
opportunities  for  developing  a business  in  the  line  and  arranged 
a partnership  with  Costikyan  Freres,  the  business  being  con- 
ducted for  a time  in  their  retail  establishment  in  Chicago. 
Q Early  in  1 894  the  Chicago  house  was  discontinued  and  the 
wholesale  business  was  carried  on  exclusively  in  New  York 
City,  at  47-49  Liberty  St.  and  at  128  Broadway  (the  Old  Amer- 
ican Exchange  National  Bank  Bldg.)  It  was  removed  in  1 898  to 
the  extensive  and  modern  Gallatin  Bldg.,  at  1 9th  St.  and  Broad- 
way. Q In  1900  the  name  was  changed  from  Costikyan 
Freres  to  Kent-Costikyan.  Q The  trend  of  business  uptown 
necessitated  another  removal  in  1908  to  the  Knabe  Bldg,  on 
Fifth  Ave.  at  39th  St.  The  need  for  larger  quarters  resulted  in 
a lease  in  1910  of  two  entire  floors  at  8-14  West  38th  St. 
Q Early  in  1916  the  present  location  was  secured, — the  entire 
sixth  floor  of  the  Rogers-Peet  Bldg,  485  Fifth  Ave.,  opposite 
the  Public  Library,  near  42nd  St.,  New  York.  Q These 
salesrooms  afford  perfect  daylight  and  every  convenience  for 
the  careful  selection  of  rugs.

ORIENTAL  RUGS  MADE  TO  ORDER 

IN  PERSIA.  INDIA.  CHINA  6-  ASIA  MINOR 


SPECIAL  DESIGNS 

Genuine  Oriental  Rugs  for  special  requirements,  in  any 
design,  color  scheme,  shape  and  size,  are  woven  to  order 
under  our  direct  supervision,  in  the  Orient.  These  Rugs  are 
the  finest  specimens  of  modern  Orientals  shown  in  this  country, 
both  in  quality  and  design.  They  are  made  from  our  own 
specifications,  the  sketches  showing  the  designs  and  color  com- 
binations being  produced  in  our  salesrooms  here. 


SOLID  COLORS 

We  are  showing  a new  floor  covering,  the  result  of  our 
recent  exploitations  in  the  Orient, — Oriental  Rugs  in  Solid  Col- 
ors, and  with  quaint,  simple  borders,  in  distinctive  tones  of 
taupe,  gray,  and  other  beautiful  colors.  They  are  extra  heavy, 
durable,  may  be  had  in  any  size  and  are  decidedly  practical 
where  a rich  effect  and  soft,  quiet  elegance  are  desired.  The 
fabric  is  carried  in  stock  in  rolls,  from  which  any  size  or  shape 
may  be  cut  and  finished  for  immediate  delivery.

RUGS  FOR  SPECIAL  REQUIREMENTS 


FRENCH  AUBUSSON  6-  SAVONNERIE 
French  Rugs  have  been  noted  for  centuries  for  their 
artistic  elaborateness  of  design.  Aubussons  and  Savonneries 
were,  until  recent  years,  woven  exclusively  for  the  use  of 
French  royalty.  These  exquisite  floor  coverings  are  now 
available  in  any  design,  size  and  color  combination  for  Ameri' 
can  homes.  They  are  woven  by  hand,  of  the  finest,  pure 
water-spun  wool  and  may  be  had  in  period  and  other 
desirable  effects. 


HAND  TUFTED  RUGS 

The  range  of  qualities,  in  which  Hand  Tufted  Rugs  are 
produced,  permit  a wide  range  of  choice  in  texture,  from  the 
coarse  knotting  to  a superfine  weave.  They  are  made  in 
any  size,  shape,  design  or  color  scheme  (seamless  up  to  33  feet 
wide).  They  are  especially  suited  to  Drawing  Rooms, 
Library,  Dining  Room,  Halls  and  Stairs. 


PLAIN  COLORS 

We  carry  the  “Kentico”  and  other  Fine  Scotch  Axminsters 
in  stock  (9-12-13-18  feet  wide,  seamless)  in  rolls,  in  eight 
exclusive  plain  colors.  Rugs  from  this  thick,  soft,  durable  fabric 
are  cut  to  any  size  and  finished  ready  for  immediate  delivery.

ANTIQUES  &-  OBJECTS 
OF  ART 

A special  department  is  devoted  exclusively  to  Antiques 
and  Ancient  Objects  of  Art.  The  antique  room,  which  is  apart 
from  the  main  showroom,  contains  a collection  of  noteworthy 
rugs  of  a character  seldom  seen  outside  of  private  collections. 
Collectors  and  others  who  desire  to  acquire  choice  specimens 
should  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity  to  view  this  unusual 
gathering  of  rare  works.  In  addition  to  the  rugs  and  tapestries 
are  shown  a group  of  Potteries,  Plaques,  Lamps,  etc.  of  high 
decorative  value. 


THE  CARE  OF  ORIENTAL  RUGS 

Good  floor  coverings  are  among  the  most  important  of  all 
artistic  furnishings;  yet,  they  are  subjected  to  the  hardest 
wear.  The  condition  of  the  rugs  often  makes  or  destroys  the 
appearance  of  an  entire  room. 

The  proper  care  of  good  rugs  has  much  to  do  with  their 
life  and  value.  A thorough  renovating  once  every  year  will 
retain  the  attractiveness  and  prolong  the  life  of  a rug  almost 
indefinitely. 

If  a rug  is  torn  or  otherwise  injured,  it  should  be  repaired 
at  once. 

Our  facilities  for  cleaning,  repairing  by  native  weavers, 
and  cold  air  storage  during  summer  months  are  unsurpassed. 
The  charges  are  moderate  and  include  full  insurance  against 
loss  by  fire,  theft  or  moths.  Rugs  are  transported  to  and  from 
residences  by  our  own  auto  delivery,  in  the  care  of  responsible 
messengers,  without  charge.

AN  UNUSUAL  COLLECTION  OF 
ORIENTAL  RUGS 


Probably  no  collection  of  Oriental  Rugs  in  this  country 
affords  greater  latitude  in  its  range  of  sizes,  color  schemes  and 
fine  weaves,  than  that  shown  in  the  Kent-Costikyan  salesrooms 
at  the  present  time.  It  has  long  been  known  that  large  sizes 
and  rugs  to  meet  particular  requirements  are  often  found  here 
when  they  are  unobtainable  elsewhere. 

The  entire  collection  has  recently  been  augmented  by  the 
addition  of  direct  purchases  in  the  Orient,  which  include  many 
exceptional  specimens  from  private  collections  which  have 
never  been  accessible  to  buyers  before. 

A large  group  of  fine  pieces  from  China,  a number  of  fine 
Lavehr  Kermans  in  wonderful  colorings  and  many  ex- 
ceptional  pieces,  in  large  sizes,  are  predominating  factors  at  this 
time. 

The  list  which  follows  is  so  arranged  that  any  size  may 
readily  be  found.  Those  who  desire  rugs  of  a certain  size 
and  proportion  will  find  a variety  of  choice,  conveniently 
grouped  for  ready  reference.  Those  rugs  approximating  the 
desired  size  and  colors  will  be  sent  on  approval  if  requested. 
Or,  they  may  be  viewed  first  in  our  salesrooms  at  any  time.
